It is easy to say what you want, but it’s another thing to truly put that energy into the universe. “Love Is”, the second single from Mega Bog’s forthcoming sixth full-length effort, End of Everything, is an invitational to a power greater, but at the same time, can only come from the self. Resoundingly one of Erin Elizabeth Birgy’s most cohesively designed ventures into her art-pop wilderness, the listen – originally penned by Birgy’s friend, Austin Jackson of jazz-punk band Dragons – is elevated into a dancefloor anthem where her newfound explorations into bodies of synthscapes sweeping and trumpeting amid percussion are excited by ready desires to be whelmed by romantic forces. “And let me / Get lost / In your eyes / One more time,” she sings, with the ghostly heat of Westerman’s equal yearning nearby. “Show me what love is.” As the listen soars higher and higher, Birgy never does come down from her cloud, and it’s like she’s shifting the universe into her favor.
